Operating System for High-Frequency Intervals in Moscow Metro

Abstract

This paper reviews the existing operating system of the Moscow Metro. The Moscow Metro carries a large number of passengers everyday operating trains at high-frequency intervals. In Tokyo too, the railway system is operating at a capacity close to its limit, but small irregularities are causing significant delays in the service. This paper studies the methods that the Moscow Metro adopted in operating the system to achieve high-frequency intervals services, along with smooth flows of passengers and trains. It is hoped that this research would be very information and useful for the improvement of the worsening punctuality in the urban railway services of Tokyo.
